Patton shared some of her go-to skincare secrets with People. She says that getting enough sleep is the most important part. “I think it affects the way you look overall,” Patton explained. “I don’t know how many people are getting 10 hours of sleep a night, but you find someplace within and let that [beauty] emanate outward.”

2. She Surfs

Patton spends a lot of time outside. She also enjoys trying new things. One outdoor activity that Patton tried was surfing. She shared this photo and these videos on Instagram of herself and a friend going surfing. Patton captioned the post, “First attempt at surfing - I’ll get up next time 😉

...to be continued.”

3. She Strength Trained

Patton shared how she got in shape for her role in Warcraft to Monarch Magazine. She says that she did, “2½ hours of weight training for 6 days a week for months.” Strength training and using weights has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic reports, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

4. She Rode Horses

Patton revealed to Monarch Magazine that she also rode horses to train for Warcraft. “Keep in mind, you are speaking to someone who only rode horses on vacation, like guided horses. Live action horseback riding is a whole other experience. LOL With all this activity I was showering like 2-3 times a day.” The American Heart Association states that riding can help with core muscles. “Sitting tall, pushing your legs into the body of your horse ignites the core muscles, which are imperative for balance and posture.”

5. She Ate A Lot Of Protein

Patton also ate healthy for her role in Warcraft. She told Monarch Magazine that she ate a protein-heavy diet. “Eating sooo much protein, I mean sooooo much protein; drinking it as well. I had protein coming out of my ears!!” Piedmont states that protein has a lot of benefits. “Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage and skin. In fact, your hair and nails are comprised mostly of protein.”

4. She’s Motivated

Vuorela makes sure to stay motivated to workout. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Became a leg pass to end this week as usual.

So nice that I still went to the gym because I tagged along and it was a good workout anyway even though you were unmotivated at first.”

5. She Goes Outside

According to UC Davis, going outside is very beneficial. “Studies also show that being in nature has a positive effect on our bodies by reducing cortisol levels, muscle tension, and demands on our cardiovascular systems (lowers heart rate and blood pressure).

The great outdoors can also help you increase your vitamin D level, which is important for your bones, blood cells, and immune system.”
